By MIKE FORNESmike@cheboygantribune.com CHEBOYGAN — An accidental janitorial spill closed the Cheboygan campus of North Central Michigan College for the day on Monday.The school posted an announcement on its website that stated the closure was due to "an unforeseen maintenance issue.""About 5:30 a.m. a bottle of toilet bowl cleaner was dropped and the contents spilled on the floor in a hallway," explained Mike Witulski, director of business development for CloudAccess.net, the owner of the building at 504 Division St. that the college has leased as its Cheboygan headquarters. Witulski said that protocols were immediately followed."The Cheboygan Fire Department was called due to the uncertainty of containing any possible fumes," Witulski continued. "The campus was closed for the day as of 10 a.m. You have to go by the book, no matter how simple the case. We followed the protocol."NCMC's schedule for the day included six classes that were canceled, including the first scheduled at 12:30 p.m. and others set to begin at 6 p.m. and end at 8:50 p.m. The building was declared safe for occupancy, but Witulski said he decided to err on the side of safety.
